Question

I’m using the Google Contacts API to get back formatted JSON, hopefully containing ALL of a user’s contacts’ email addresses. I use this information to search my database for the user’s friends.

Neither of these results occur.

Here’s the URI that’s called (broken up by paramater for slightly better readability:

http://www-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/api/people/@me/@all/?
filterby=emails&max_results=1000
&oauth_consumer_key=XXXXXXX
&oauth_nonce=h7ZEI
&oauth_signature=6U2ywoPRFu8iJdQhjMRk%2FZlf%2FBg%3D
&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1
&oauth_timestamp=1283979209
&oauth_token=1%2Fwv9OYV4LuffVLv6OqlFJLOtTlBo5sYYQkHbZznlLrNk
&oauth_version=1.0
&orderby=starttime

Here’s some truncated and anonymized JSON I have returned.

{
    "startIndex": 0,
    "totalResults": 615,
    "entry": [
        {
            "id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
            "name": {
                "formatted": "XXXXX XXXXXX",
                "familyName": "XXXXXXX",
                "givenName": "XXXXXX"
            },
            "displayName": "XXXXX XXXXXX"
        },
    ],
    "itemsPerPage": 20
}

Any thoughts on what’s going wrong here would be great.

Answer 1

Hate to answer my own question so soon, but I was using the wrong initial scope. I was using Google’s Open Social feed rather than the Google Contacts feed.
